I had some free time in Edinburgh recently so I went to the National Museum thinking there’s always a map or two in a museum.
I stumbled on this stone with the inscription Scotland to the World and the 4 cardinal points. Not quite a map but it will do. Shame there wasn’t an explanation of its origins, if anyone knows the history of this stone do let me know.
Of course there were a few “proper” maps
